TEHRAN, Dec. 6 (Xinhua) -- Iran's diplomatic campaign to improve relations with the world is gaining momentum after an interim deal broke the decade-long deadlock on its nuclear issue.


Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki's ongoing visit to Tehran is aimed to create new dynamic relations between the two neighbors. Iranian and Iraqi nations can build even closer relations if the current meetings in Tehran result in dealing with the conflicts in Syria and the oil production shares within the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), analysts said.


Congratulating on the recent nuclear deal between Iran and the world powers, Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu and Syrian Prime Minister Wael al-Halqi visited Iran last week, each seeking to improve or strengthen ties with the Iranian moderate government. Iran and P5+1 Cheap Ryan Suter Hat , the United States, Britain, France, Russia, China plus Germany Cheap Luke Kunin Hat , struck a deal in Geneva on November 24, in which Iran agreed to freeze part of its nuclear program in exchange for limited ease of sanctions.


In addition to regional diplomacy, the upcoming visit of Chinese State Councilor Yang Jiechi will further open the door for Iran's interaction with major world powers.


Iran has pledged to improve relations with the world. In his inauguration speech, Iranian President Rouhani said he would have "constructive interaction" with the world.


REGIONAL TIES


After years of declining relations, Iran is taking steps to mend ties with Gulf Arab states Cheap Marcus Foligno Hat , said Sadeq Zibakalam, professor of politics in Tehran University.


Iran's Foreign Minister Mohammed-Javad Zarif spent his time in the past days visiting the leaders of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) in an attempt to ease tensions with Gulf Arab states.


At the end of his tour to Oman, Kuwait and Qatar, Zarif said Tuesday that there were interests in the visited Arab countries to improve ties with Iran, adding the improved ties "will benefit peace and stability in the region."


On Wednesday Cheap Jason Zucker Hat , Zarif also met with Dubai ruler Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al-Maktoum in the United Arab Emirates and invited Emirates' President Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed al-Nahyan to visit Tehran.


Iran's ties with Kuwait became sore after the oil-rich Arab state charged several Iranian and locals for spying for the Islamic republic in the past years. Iran has accused Saudi Arabia of supporting "terrorists" in Syria. Saudi Arabia on the other hand is wary of Iran's efforts to promote Shiite Islam in the region. Both Iran and the UAE have a long-standing dispute over the ownership of three Persian Gulf islands controlled by Iran.


Despite disputes with Iran, the Persian Gulf states have cautiously welcomed the deal between Iran and the world powers. For its part, the Saudi government said the deal could be a first step toward a comprehensive solution, "provided that there is goodwill."


Iran has also shown willingness to seek reconciliation with Saudi Arabia. "The misunderstandings are solvable," the Iranian foreign minister said.


In addition to mending ties with Persian Gulf states Cheap Joel Eriksson Ek Hat , Iran is working to further cement relations with its neighbors and allies in the region. In the two weeks following the Geneva deal, Iranian President Rouhani has already met with Syrian prime minister and Turkish foreign minister in Tehran on bilateral ties and the Syrian crisis.


Also, Rouhani met with Iraqi prime minister on Thursday and called Iran-Iraq relations strategic, urging for expansion of ties in all fields. Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei also told Maliki there was no limit for promotion of ties between the two countries.
